What is Ceff?
Ceff works by interfering with the formations of bacteria’s cell walls and causing it to rupture and killing the bacteria that is causing infections. The active ingredient cephalexin monohydrate is considered a cephalosporin antibiotics type of medication. The medication can be used to treat bacterial infections to the bones or joints, skin, ears, urinary tract and the upper respiratory tract. Some people with certain heart conditions may also use it prior to dental procedures to prevent serious infections of the heart.
How is Ceff used?
Ceff should be taken orally exactly as directed by a doctor, usually every 6 to 12 hours. The capsules should be taken with a full glass of water but can be taken with or without food. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. Do not discontinue the medication until you finish the full course of treatment, even if symptoms look completely healed, as stopping the treatment abruptly may cause a relapse in the infection and allow the bacteria to become the immune to the antibiotics.
